Celebration of the life and work of Premier Forgan Smith
About
The T J Ryan Foundation invites you to be part of a celebration of the life and work of Premier Forgan Smith (1932-1942).In many respects Premier Forgan Smith was the architect for our modern Queensland.
His vision for regional development and rural industries, public infrastructure, energy supply, water policy, the establishment of the St Lucia campus of The University of Queensland and four key faculties impacted directly on the lives of all Queenslanders.
His achievements are even more extraordinary given he was Premier during the Great Depression and World War 2.
His legacy will be analysed and celebrated by a distinguished panel.
